My teenage daughter and her many friends have used this book numerous times to make the many items that Ms. Zent presents in her book. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The items were low cost and my daughter actually wears them! "The girls" already have plans to get together over the Christmas break to work on more of these great ideas. Right on target for the age group this book was written for - Teenagers!
I did learn some from this book like how to; sew a button hole, lock my stitch, and turn my fabric on the needle. However, the drawn example were hard to understand. And a lot of the steps didn't have an example at all. And I don't like how there is no patterns in the book. you have to measure and make them your self. This can be very difficult for a beginner machine sewer like myself.
This book is exactly what I was looking for; Quick and easy projects, stylish clothing with easy to follow instructions.
I have had this book for several years and it is fantastic for quick projects. My daughters are involved in the local non profit children's theatre and this book is great for the basics of how to construct the clothing. Several of these patterns have been transformed into costumes over the years. A++
this book is good for the junior high and up group I teach sewing to a little younger group.....well written and good information,but must have some sewing skills to use this book, I'd rate it a 7.
the book is great from my point of view explains well and has good drawings and guides, I hope it will interest my grandaughter
My 10 year old loves this!!!! Great instructions and examples!Great way to spark the sewing interest!!Thanks for the fun!
I got this book thinking my grand daughter would enjoy sewing with some to the many many fabrics around, BUT she found one skirt that was made with 2 t shirts! so we would have to go buy 2 t-shirts! well that sort of turned me off to the rest of the tops that were very skimpy to wear for a girl who is a C cup at 15. So NO we didn't make anything out of it. Not our style.
